From Sun 18th "Dapper as ever in a knee-length black coat with matching pants, patent leather kicks, a white ruffled shirt and his hair slicked back"

He don't need to be wearing animal skins, not when he's the only middle aged man that can carry off lycra.

It's been reported that Prince has been seen eating chicken and fish around the time of the Musicology tour, though in his defense (?) the patent leather kicks could have been pleather (fake leather). Probably not, but it's entirely possible...

Vegan is very hard to achieve actually. Tried it myself and failed. Don't think us humans are set up for that type of eating. Although I know the flowerheads and folks at PETA would disagree.

i'm no flowerhead (nor am i vegan...strict vegetarian here), but it's easier to be a vegan than most people think. it just requires the proper supplements and nutritional planning to maintain the right amount of nutrients for the transition. some people claim that their bodies just aren't compatible with a vegan diet, which i think is a valid claim, though i always wonder how much planning they put into the transition to a vegan diet or if they just went cold turkey without considering how to make up for what they were suddenly cutting out of their diets. it takes some planning. it's not an instantaneous rapid-rewards kind of dietary change.

Well said. I completely agree.

I'm vegan.
It's not hard at all, actually.

I'm a strict vegetarian, and pretty close to being vegan. It's just about planning like Anxiety said.

Okay honestly I don't know the difference between Vegans and vegetarians!!!!

There are degrees of vegetarianism...and vegan is the strictest of them.

All vegans are vegetarians, but not all vegetarians are vegans.

Genesia said:

Short and straight to the point.....I like you, Thanks!!!

KidaDynamite said:

The difference is this.
Vegans won't eat ANYTHING that comes from an animal, which means no dairy.

ButterscotchPimp said:

But vegetarians makes that exception!?!?!?!

KidaDynamite said:

That's what I meant about there being degrees of vegetarianism. There are lactovegetarians, who eat dairy but no other animal foods. There are ovolactovegetarians, who'll do eggs and dairy. Pescovegetarians, who'll eat fish but no other animal flesh. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Genesia said:

Alright I have it people, no need to stress yourselves and again thanks!!!

Genesia said:

I'm sorry.
If you eat fish, then you can't call yourself "vegetarian".

What the hell is an "ovolactovegetarian"? Who calls themselves that?

And eggs are dairy.

People try to make things seem way more complicated than they have to be.

You either are a carnivore, a vegetarian or a vegan.

If you eat fish, you're a carnivore (albeit a healthier one for sure).
If you don't eat meat but eat dairy you're a vegetarian.
If you don't eat meat or dairy you're vegan.

ovolactovegetarian. that's just silly.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Eggs are not dairy. What...like eggs come out of a chicken's mammary glands? (If chicken even had mammary glands which, being birds, they don't.)

The fact that eggs are near (or in) the dairy section of a grocery store doesn't make them dairy, my dear. Think about it.

There are ovolactovegetarians. Here's a little remedial Latin for you. Ovo = eggs. Lacto = milk. Get it now?

And you might think about getting a B-12 shot. Combativeness is a sign of B-12 deficiency -- common in vegans.

ButterscotchPimp said:

Eggs are not dairy .. they're protein (meat family)..

Genesia said:

I get it.
I'm the extremely sarcastic one, remember?
I've heard all of those terms before, but i think they're silly.
I think my definition is much much simpler is all.

And i spend lots of moolah on my vitamins, so i'm good.

He never stopped wearing leather did he?

I think when he start to eat meat again.

I just looked at the clip he did not have on patent leather or any kind of leather pants!

shock horror, a change in his diet will be such an effect on his future music, what a shame... come on guys who cares!

You know "kicks" is a reference to shoes. Right? Not pants.

iv been noticing in pictures of him that he has some well how you say meat on him and that he is not so pale. In past photos when he was doing the whole vegan thing he was really skinny and really pale. So im guessing he is starting to eat a bit of the meat.

Anxiety said:

he prolly needed the protein to keep up with the tour.or he tasted boca tofu sausage and realized the horror that lies within :

Christopher said:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. They're not that bad.

Genesia said:

i'm an ovolacto vegetarian, and i think within a group of people who are veggie (my blanket term for vegetarians, vegans, and whatever other non-meat-eat-y people out there) those distinctions are probably apt to come up. but when i'm talking with people at work or meeting new folks who have no idea what any of this is about, i just tell 'em i'm vegetarian and leave it at that...sometimes i'll add in that i do eggs and milk, because i find a staggering amount of people honestly don't know the difference between vegetarian and vegan.

oh, and the B12 thing is a total lie, don't believe it. i take B12 supplements all the time and they help me feel great, but i'm still as much of a contrary bitch as i've ever been.
